Fine, I'll edit it!
There.
Same damn point. If someone goes into listening to an album thinking "This album is gonna SUCK!", chances are, they're going to hate it. If someone goes into it thinking "I'm going to LOVE this album!!" you're going to give it more chances than you normally would. Big friggin' whoop. You can come up with a hundred different things that suck about anything, and you can make a convincing case that it does, in fact, suck. Being a political nerd, I'm great at it myself. But, nonetheless, Laz has basically bombarded this thread with his anti-Tool rants with the disclaimer "LISTEN, I LIKE TOOL, BUT........"
It's kind of annoying. I'm curious as to what people think about the album (I'm liking it more as I listen to it more), and it seems like all this thread has become is Laz browbeating people into agreeing with him. It's slow? 'k. The songs are all about fisting? Well, I don't know what all of them are about, so maybe... I mean, I guess there was a vague lyric in there that could possibly be construed into... well... shit, Tool sucks! They're not the greatest musicians to ever grace the planet? FUCK! I HATE TOOL!!
